After our battery manifested a dead cell for the second time in 3 years I decided to do online research to see if any other 2006 trailblazer owners had similar issues. I found a recall NHTSA campaign number 06V417000 concerning passenger side airbag sensor and aftermarket leather upgrade I contacted GM only to be told our VIN was not part of the recall. I proceeded to ask how a VIN could tell if we had aftermarket leather added by the dealer they said our VIN was not part of the recall nothing more. After calling another dealer I learned the 794 SUV's had the leather upgrades done by GM, not the dealers who sent them out to get leather installed. The remedy for the vehicles GM upgraded was GM purchased them back as no aftermarket leather was or is available that is compatible with the sensor in the passenger seat for the airbag. If this is such a safety concern why weren't the other trailblazer owners who got aftermarket leather from the dealer notified of this are they liable shouldn't we get a notice of the safety concerns as well" still looking for answers and a resolution what can I do to make my vehicle safe for the front passenger?"
